Bari language
Bari is a Chibchan language spoken in an area partly in Colombia and partly in Venezuela by the Motilones. Motilones are sometimes called "dobocubi", but this is a pejorative term.
The language is tonal: bropba can mean "axe" or "banana" depending on tone, and Shko yuo bainanai hi means "The animal went into the hole", "It is dead", or "I am lost".
